Not for school. For Constance. xoxo

Say hello to my "not for school" uniform which I realised after the fact, has elements similar to the uniforms worn by the girls of Constance Billard in Gossip Girl, these are the base elements of how I preferred to dress during my days at sixth form, when not in uniform (and still do today as you can probably tell); high heels and chunky jewellery.

Ironically I never enjoyed wearing blazers when it was a part of my uniform and now I practically never leave home without one. This is my first "full" post and I had a hell of a good time shooting it. I'll let you in on a secret though, the temperature was probably -2 C and the winds were beyond freezing but that didn't stop me from smiling. I was just excited that it was actually sunny for once in London!

The Point:

Leather Sleeve Blazer | Zara (AW 12)

White shirt | Zara

Skater Skirt | River Island

Statement Necklace & Ring | Aldo

Tights & Aztec Ring | H&M

Pointed Ankle Boots | ASOS

If any of you caught the GG reference in the title, I'm virtually high-5ing you right now! For those who are not familiar; Constance Billard School For Girls was the name of the high school in the awesome TV show Gossip Girl. "Not for school. For Constance." is my homage to the show's unique school uniform styles which was showcased by 'B For Waldorf xo'. Those of you who watched it know that school uniform at Constance was nothing like the ordinary & was never to be yawned at.
